Many people in southern Ohio went to bed Monday night hearing a weather forecast of between 1-3 inches of snow, but woke up Tuesday morning to much more than they were expecting.
Snowfall amounts ranged from three inches in Pike County to as much as 9.5 inches in parts of Fayette County.
Fayette, Ross, Pickaway, Highland, Hocking and Fairfield counties were under a Winter Storm Warning, which was lifted at 7am Tuesday.
Snowfall totals show:
9.5 inches in Good Hope (Fayette County)
8.5 inches in Highland County
8 inches in Washington Court House (Fayette County)
7.5 inches in Chillicothe (Ross County)
Most area schools were closed Tuesday or on virtual learning.
The National Weather Service says there is a chance of much lower snowfall totals on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of this week, but temperatures are forecast to drop into the single digits Saturday and Sunday nights.
